Shawn Carter Peterson portrays Dax in the upcoming musical dance flick Pitch Perfect 2. This movie is more than just a sweet tune with a toe tap and a shake of the hip. Viewers can learn a few things after they’ve watched this production.
Peterson says Pitch Perfect 2 teaches audience goers that, “even when all seems lost, [you can] find the silver lining and go with it — It will take you through to the winner’s circle!”
In this type of production there are a few opportunities to steer off track from the exact scripting. “Getting to improvise with one of the best in the business was a major highlight. Acting can be very collaborative, but not everyone sees it that way. When Keegan-Michael Key says ‘Hey, lets have some fun with this!’, you know you’re about to go on the ride of a lifetime,” says Shawn.
